Introduction.
The educational environment is everything that surrounds the student in an educational community. This has currently taken on a lot of relevance, since its dependence on the teaching-learning process is known, serving as a basis to generate social transformation and significant development for students. Despite this, this turns out to be different in each institution and depend on the student's own perception. This is why this research aims to describe the perception of the educational environment of the students of the School of Dentistry of the University of Valparaíso.

Results.
Of the 117 DREEM surveys, an average of 111.9 points was obtained. In the dimension (D) 1 a 56% indicated a positive perception; in D2 a 53% indicated good direction in teaching perception; in D3 a 67% indicated an academic, self-perception positive; in D4 53% considered that the environment can improve and in D5 45% that it is not a good environment. All dimensions had a statistically significant association and equality between their means.
Conclusion.
The students evaluated the dentistry career at the University of Valparaíso as 'more positive than negative aspects' according to the parameters of the DREEM questionnaire.
